How hard is it to implement email verification?

That is also a concern and why I always default to a separate account even for those things, but I wouldn't assume that data doesn't get sold to Google regardless.

    I prefer to use different email aliases for everything to mitigate that

    from what i've read, ALL email ( possible 0.000something tolerance/error ) goes through google's mail-transfer-agents.

    If they want a copy of every email that goes across the internet, they've got the saturation-of-core-servers to have that.

    There simply isn't any way to bypass that.

    on an irrelated note, i wish public key encryption had been normalized, & worked right..

    ( Snowden got stung by a misconfiguration, 1 time, & if geeks get stung, then it isn't ready for normals )
